Copying files to a Windows formatted NTFS drive...

Good afternoon.

I'm getting a MediaGate MG-35 to store music, videos, and photos on. When I get it, I'll be installing a 300GB HDD and formatting it in NTFS.

When I plug this into my mini through a USB port, I assuming it will be recognized and show has a removable drive on the desktop. Should I then be able to just drag and drop my video files (.mp4, etc.) and photos (.jpg) and music (.mp3) to the drive without a problem or any (known) data corruption?

Thanks for the help.
